What steps should be taken when encountering memory-related errors in PHP scripts on a web hosting provider's server?

Memory-related errors in PHP scripts on a web hosting provider's server can be resolved by increasing the memory limit in the PHP configuration file (php.ini) or within the script using the ini_set() function. This can help prevent errors such as "Allowed memory size exhausted" or "Fatal error: Out of memory".

// Increase memory limit in PHP configuration file (php.ini)
memory_limit = 256M;

// Increase memory limit within the script using ini_set()
ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
